Preparing for order record loading

If your library is planning to upload order records in a batch, you need to add
some information to your provider records so that Evergreen knows how to map
the copy data contained in the order record.

Retrieve the record for the provider that has supplied the order records by
selecting Admin > Server Administration > Acquisitions > Providers. Click on
the hyperlinked Provider name.

In the top frame, add the MARC tag that contains your holdings data in the
Holdings Tag field (this tag can also be entered at the time you create the
provider record.)

To map the tag’s subfields to the appropriate copy data, click the Holding
Subfield tab. Click the New Holding Subfield button and select the copy
data that you are mapping. Add the subfield that contains that data and click
Save.

If your vendor is sending other data in a MARC tag that needs to be mapped to
a field in acquisitions, you can do so by clicking the Attribute Definitions
tab. As an example, if you need to import the PO Name, you could set up an
attribute definition by adding an XPath similar to:

where 962 is the holdings tag and p is the subfield that contains the PO Name.

Preparing to send electronic orders from Evergreen

If your library wants to transmit electronic order information to a vendor, you
will need to configure your server to use EDI. You need to install the EDI
translator and EDI scripts on your server by following the instructions in the
Evergreen 2.3 documentation.
